How Do I Know If My Carb Needs A Rebuild?

23 September 2005 - 06:03 PM

I have an 85 civic hatch... ive had it for like 4 months now and ive just got insurance on it. It runs but not very well. I have checked all the vacuume lines that i can see and all seem to have no tears in them (i have replaced one)

When i go to crank up the car it runs fine but when i go to rev it up it will idol down really low and stall out? i dont know what the problem is? She has been sitting for about a year. I drove her plenty of times but i have to keep my foot on the accelator to keep her running. What is the problem do i need a carberator rebuild kit? where do i get one? How hard is it? and is there a "how to" on a carberator rebuild? THANKS RPR

12 July 2005 - 11:38 AM

1st i went to a junkyard and i found some 87 sedan headlights and im wondering if they would fit my 85 hatch? also i found a guage cluster out of a foo door?

2nd question i found a black top d16a1 motor for 150 bucks! will my stock tranny bolt up to it or will i have to get a tranny, shift linkage, axles and ecu for it?

3rd i found 4 wheeel disc brakes out of a 1st gen integra! the will sell it to me for $150 is this a good deal... and will braking be like night and day after the seup...

4th will the back seats out of a 1st gen teg bolt up to the back of a hatch

sorry for all the question but im just curious smile.gif
